A Legacy Has Been Launched
The inhabitants raise their offspring well aware that they are in constant jeopardy. The motto for this mourning dove sitting on her well-concealed nest deep in a densely thorned tree may well be, "The best defense is a good defense."
Usually hiding and nesting in heavy ground vegetation, a quail perches momentarily in a tree. Quail continue to increase in numbers and their "bobwhite" calls are truly delightful.
A hen pheasant searches for a nest site, and in the fall, a sleepy screech owl perches in a wood duck nest box.
